I thought that was what you meant but I know that this is also a place that we could blow off some steam about everyday gripes and complaints. I belong to a few forums and most for much longer but this is where I come to the most. Mainly because we have the kind of friendly board where we can feel comfortable just talking and kicking around ideas.

Yeah I'm the same. This is the best site I've ever been on as far as folks being civil to each other even when we are disagreeing! And what's even better is that EVERYBODY seems to police themselves and the others so the mods don't have to jump in very often. THIS IS A GREAT SITE!

Well I originally woke up to switch out my ice packs and now I startinv to doze again so I say good night. Have a safe one and be careful once you finish up work there.

Very true!

Long joke of the day:

After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which
conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during
the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct
the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form
what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets
before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of
humor!
Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as
submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance
engineers.
(P = the problem logged by the pilot.)
(S = the solution and action taken by the engineers.)

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding
on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

It's 3am and I can go to sleep a happy man now.



For a brief period of time I owned the #1 spot in the world in a silly game - Angry Birds Seasons HD.

I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever been #1 in the world at anything. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That's out of 1,063,015 players btw. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Hope you're doing well and that your Sister has fully recuperated from her attack.
